Reducing the Amount of Waste Generated
Basic Approach
Working towards a recycling-minded society, our 3R*1 policy encourages all employees to separate waste materials into different categories for effective recycling.
*1 Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
FY 2010 Performance
In Fujitsu Group Environmental Protection Program (Stage VI), we set the goal of reducing the amount of waste generated by our business operations by 20% compared to FY 2007 levels by the end of FY 2012.
We generated 31,063 tons of waste in FY 2010, which was a 1.3% reduction from the previous fiscal year's level and a 20.1% reduction from the FY 2007 level. The reasons for these reductions include the conversion of waste paper and waste acid to valuable materials.
These results include the Japanese companies FDK TWICELL and FDK Tottori, which have become consolidated companies as of this fiscal year.
Recovery and Reuse of Nitric Acid Waste in the Plating Process
We use nitric acid to strip off and remove copper and nickel that has adhered to plating jigs and plating tanks at the Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd. Wakaho plant, and process that acid as liquid waste containing dissolved metals.
By purifying and concentrating this liquid waste using a diffusion dialysis method, we made it possible to recover and reuse the nitric acid. As a result, we were able to reduce the amount of nitric acid used by about 1,000 tons per year.
